I would insert a witty retort about picking one's battles if I had one at my disposal.

A battle - or a wit?????

A witty retort! My Wit is at least high enough to use a Scimitar without penalty...

Surely you understate yourself. We are certain you could are of epee class.

*blush* Garsh, you say the sweetest thangs...

I would like to see a change to the polling rules such that an individual user ID and IP address can only vote once. This would help avoid a single manager or groups of managers "shilling" the voting by submitting repeated votes on an issue and skewing the perception of RSI and other players on game matters.

Just to clarify...

We still have some parts of this site that we can't edit fully, change, or delete, because of security issues. These are being worked on. Until this is fixed--or at least the polls part is fixed--I can't make changes to the way polls are handled (adding individual user ID/IP/etc. tracking for polls). It is definitely something that I would like to do when we get the ability.

I will assure you, though, that I am (and have been) aware that there was ballot-stuffing going on, and as such, take that into consideration when I view the results of the polls. Further, when it really matters (i.e., when I need input in a hurry), I generally look at the results fairly early on, long before a small number of managers has had a chance to hugely skew the results by voting hundreds of times.

I took the last poll down because it was bothering you all so much. I couldn't think of anything exciting to put up, though, and right now we *have* to have a poll (because I can't turn it off), so the new poll is pretty random. Maybe I'll use the results to choose the color for the next turnsheets or envelope or something. *shrug* If anybody has any ideas, please let me know.
